Application filed June 8, 1921.

My invention relates to breaching machines.

An object of my invention is to provide an improved broaching machine. Another object of my invention is to provide an improved broaching machine operative to simultaneously push and pull the broach through the work. A further object of my invention is to provide an improved broaching machine in which the push and pull may be made substantially equal. A further object of my invention is to provide an improved mechanism for simultaneously pushing and pulling upon a single broach and having common control means operative to cause the simultaneous application of the effective forces simultaneously to the opposite ends of the broach. Other objects and advantages of my improved construction will be apparent in the course of the following specification and appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown for purposes of illustration one form which my invention may assume in practice.

In these drawings,-

Fig. 1 is a plan view with parts broken away of my im roved broaching mechanism.

Fig. :2 is a si e elevation with parts broken away of my improved broaching mechanism.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is a detail transverse section through the auxiliary controlling valve.

Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic view of the fluid pressure controlling mechanism for my improved broaching mechanism.

Fig. 7 is a sectional-view of the relief valve.

It is a well known fact that in practice many breaches are broken for different causes which might have worked with entire satisfaction had it been possible to reduce the strains imposed upon them. For the purpose of reducing the breakage of broaches, I have provided mechanism operative to simultaneously push and pull upon a broach in such manner that the work of moving the broach through the work piece may be substantially equally divided.

For purposes of illustration I have shown my improved broaching mechanism as comprising a traction screw 1 which may be actuswarm. 415,914.

ated by a rotatable nut 1 and mounted upon a usual type of frame 2 and controlled by a manual lever 3 in a well known manner, this lever being operative in the position shown in Fig. 2 to maintain the traction screw stationary and, when moved to the left and right from the position shown in Fig. 2, to effect opposite movements of the screw 1 together with the broach 4 which is fastened in a well known manner to the screw 1. As is usual in screw type broaching machines, the nut which cooperates with the screw r0- tates at a uniform rate which will insure a substantially uniform rate of movement of the broach irrespective of any substantial variations in tool resistance.

Combined with this mechanism is means for imparting a simultaneous push to the rear end of the broach 4, which mechanism is mounted upon a base plate 5 and comprises a cylinder 6 coaxially arranged with respect to the screw 1 and having reciprocable therein, in alinement with said screw, a piston 7 provided with a piston rod 8. The piston rod 8 is provided at its forward end with a cross head 9 movable along suitable guides 10 formed upon the frame 5 and is further provided with a projecting center 11 adapted to engage in a seat in the rear end of the broach 4. To the front and back ends respectively of the cylinder 6 there are connected pipes 13 and 1 through which fluid pressure may be transmitted to the cylinder to effect opposite movements of the piston 7 therein. Liquid under pressure, for example oil, is supplied by a pump 15 whose suction side is connected to a reservoir 16 and which discharges to a receiver 17 and thence to a system of piping leading to the cylinder 6.

A by-pass 18 is controlled by an adjustably loaded relief valve 19 and leads from the receiver 17 back to the storage tank or reservoir 16 whereby the discharge pressure of the pump may be regulated substantially as desired. As stated, a piping system is connected to the receiver 17 which system comprises a relatively short pipe 20 opening into a T 21 from the other two openings of which there lead further pipes 22 and 23. The pipe 22 is controlled by an adjustable pressure reducing valve 2% and beyond said valve discharges into a valve casing 25 in which there is disposed a manually controlled valve 25'. Leading from the casing at points in the same transverse plane, but spaced circumferentially, are a series of three ports, 26, 27 and 28. The passage 26 communicates by way of pipe 29 with the pipe 14 leading to the rear end of the cylinder. The ort 27 communicates by way of pipe 30 with the suction side of the pump, herein with the reservoir 16. The port 28 communicates directly with the front end of the cylinder through the pipe 13. The valve 25' is hollow and its interior chamber communicates with the pipe 22. The valve is traversed by two radially extending angularly disposed passages 31 and 32 which are adapted respectively to cooperate with the ports 26 and 28. Formed in the periphery of the valve is a groove 33 adapted alternately to connect the ports 27 and 28, and 27 and 26.

The pipe 23 communicates with a valve casing 35 in which a valve 35 is rotatably mounted. The valve 35' is likewise of hollow construction and its interior communicates with the pipe 23. A port 36 extends radially from the bore of the valve 35 to its periphery. A port 37 is formed in the casing 35 and connects by a short pipe 38 with the pipe 14. The valve 35 is adapted to be controlled by an arm 39 connected by a link 40 to a projection 41 formed below the ivot of and on the handle 3.

T e parts are so proportioned that when the handle 3 is in the position shown in Fig. 2, that is, with the screw 1 disconnected from its driving mechanism, the valve 35' is in closed position, and the valve 35 is adapted to be moved to a position to connect the ports 36 and 37 upon movement of the lever 3 towards the left to such position as to effect traction upon the breach 4.

From the foregoing description the mode of operation of my improved mechanism will be readily apparent. A work piece X is shown abutting against a suitable abutment 2 formed upon the frame 2 of the traction screw breaching mechanism. When the breach has been passed through the work piece and secured in any well known way detachably to the front end of the traction screw 1, the valve 25 is adjusted to such position as to connect the port 31 with the port 26 and to interconnect the ports 27 and 28 by means of the groove 33. As a result, liquid at a relatively low pressure will be supplied from the pump 15 through the receiver 17, pipe 20, T 21, pipe 22, reducing valve 24, port 31, port 26, pipe 29, and pipe 14 to the rear end of the cylinder 6 and will effect forward movement of the piston 7 at a. slow rate. When the piston 7 has moved sutficiently far forward so as to cause the center 11 to engage the rear end of the breach, the valve 25 will be shifted to the position shown in Figs. 5 and 6, at which time it will be evident that the front end of the cylinder is connected with the discharge line 30 while the rear end of the cylinder, so far as the pipe 29 is concerned, is cut off from pressure. The manual control lever 3 will next be shifted to the left in Fig. 2 in such manner as to simultaneously start the screw mechanism 1 and to move the valve 35' to supply fluid at the full pressure as regulated by the relief valve 19 to the rear side of the piston 7. The breach will accordingly be forced under the combined pull of the traction screw 1 and the push of the fluid in the cylinder 6 through the work piece X. When the breach reaches the end of its travel through the work piece X, the lever 3 will be shifted again to mid-position, cutting off the supply of fluid behind the piston 6 and interrupting the operation of the trac tien screw 1. The valve 25 will then be shifted to a position turned about 45 counter-clockwise from that shown in Fig. 5 in such manner as to connect the rear end of the cylinder with the storage tank 16 by way of groove 33 and to supply fluid at reduced pressure from the port 32 to the port 28 and so to the front end of the cylinder 6. The center 11 will thereupon draw away from the breach 4, allowing the latter to be removed, and the piston 7 will move over to the rear end of its cylinder ready to repeat the breaching operation. After the breach 4 has been removed, the lever 3 will be shifted to the right to cause the screw 1 to feed back to initial position. \Vhen the piston 7 is at the rear end of its cylinder, the valve 25 will again be moved to the position shown in Fig. 5, thereby interrupting the supply of liquid to either end of the cylinder. The broach will be passed through a new work piece and have its forward end attached to the feed or traction screw 1, and then by operation of the valve 25 the center will again be fed up to the breach. The operation as described above will then be repeated.

From the foregoing description, it will be clear that I have provided an improved broaching mechanism in which simultaneously a push and pull may be imparted to a breach. It will further be evident that I have provided means for simultaneously starting the effective push and pull and controlling them by a single member. It will also be clear than the dimensions of the cylinder 6 and piston 7 and the pressure operatingthem will be so proportioned that the push applied by the center 11 will be substantially equal to the pull imparted by the screw and when different materials are used or breaches of different tooth gradations, the pressure must be varied by adjustment of the relief valve in order to bring about substantial equality between the pushing and pulling effects. It will be evident that the power driving the screw may be anywhere between half sufficient to move the breach Ill to suflicient to move it alone, but that the action of the hydraulic cylinder will always be so adjusted as to carry approximately half the work and the piston speed will be originally proportioned to be in excess of the maximum possible speed of movement of the broach by the screw. It will thus be seen that by adjusting the relief valve, it is possible to build up hydraulic pressure great enough so that by itself it could move the broach faster than could the screw nut alone, but it will be obvious that the screw nut would act as an automatic means to limit the rate of broach movement and thereby insure substantially uniform rate of movement therefor, for the nut is driven only at a uniform rate by exterior power and could not be driven faster by greater pressure on the screw. A further advantage of my improved construction arises from the fact that the control maintains the axis of the broach in exact alinement with its direction of movement throu h the work piece, preventing dragging of t e rear end thereof and so avoiding unequal strains and possible eccentric cutting.

\Vhile I have in this application specifically described and shown one form which my invention may assume in practice, it will be understood that this form of the same is used for purposes of illustration and that the invention may be embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit or the scope of the appended claims.
